RTO certificates

Certificates that issue themselves.

When a student's last unit is marked competent, RTO Grow checks their USI, profile and reporting details, then issues their certificate or statement of attainment as a PDF within minutes and emails it to them. Prefer a final check? Set the offering to "Ask before issuing".

A student goes from competent to certificate in minutes.

Automatic issuing

Automatic, with checks built in.

Typing certificates by hand is slow, and every typo is a reissue. In RTO Grow the certificate comes straight from the student's record: their name, their units, their dates. If something's missing, it waits with a plain reason and the record shows what's left to fix. Once the USI is verified, it issues and the student is emailed.

Ask before issuing

Or issue with one click.

Set an offering to "Ask before issuing" and completed students wait in "Documents waiting", with a countdown showing days left on accredited courses. After a class, "Issue certificates and cards" lets you tick everyone ready and issue them all at once. Student leaving early? Issue a statement of attainment for the units they've completed.

Certificate designer

Your design, your way.

Design certificates and cards in "Guided" or "Drag and drop" mode. Upload your own artwork as PNG, JPG, WebP or PDF, then drag fields where your design has room, including the student's photo, logos, signature, seal and QR code. Wallet cards are 85.6 by 54 mm.

  • Up to 25 fields
  • 26 fonts
  • Mandatory fields put themselves back
Verification

Verified by QR code.

Every certificate gets a number and a QR code. Anyone can scan it, like an employer or an auditor, and see "Certificate verified" with the student, course, number and issue date, checked live against your records.

Records

A permanent record.

Every certificate is saved with its PDF, a digital fingerprint of that PDF, the units it covers, and a retention date 30 years out. Your branding is locked in when it's issued, so a later rebrand never changes it. Need to revoke one? Record a reason and it's kept. A reissue links to the original.

Quick answers.

Do certificates issue themselves?

Yes, when the course offering is set to "Issue automatically". Once the student completes and their USI and profile are in order, the certificate issues within minutes and is emailed.

What if a student's USI isn't verified yet?

The certificate waits with a plain reason, and issues automatically as soon as the USI is verified. See USI verification.

Can anyone check a certificate is genuine?

Yes. Scan the QR code and the public page confirms it's verified, checked live against your records.

Can we use our own certificate design?

Yes. Upload your artwork and drag the fields into place. Mandatory fields always stay on.

Can we issue wallet cards?

Yes. Design them front and back, and issue them in the same step as the certificate.

Can we bring across certificates from our old system?

Yes, as part of your migration. They show in your certificate register alongside the ones RTO Grow issues. See how switching works.

Who can issue certificates?

Owners, admins and staff issue, revoke and reissue. Trainers can release certificates when they mark the last unit, if you allow it.
